Each Sept 11th in NYC we are reminded of those lost on 9/11/01 with a mesmerizing memorial of twin blue lights to represent the twin towers. The lights are actually not two single lights but rather a series of 40 xenon lights that create the two rectangular shapes. It’s beautiful.

I wanted to create from the base of these lights where you can see the individual light beams that make up each of the shapes. This is a pretty unique perspective.

September 11th is always a somber reminder of the times we live in. The memorial lights can be seen from anywhere in NYC. My thoughts go out to the families and friends of all the victims. Hoping that at some point in my lifetime the world will be a better place.

The northeast blizzard of 2010 is upon us. As I was driving back from an errand I was mesmerized by the dense falling snow. I had to stop when I saw this flock of seagulls (no 80’s reference intended) braving the weather. It must suck to be a seagull in the snow…but they didn’t look phased. A reminder of how nature is both beautiful and brutal at the same time.

Had no time to shoot today, starting to get desperate to keep the 365 project going. Can’t go wrong shooting a church. So I decided to play around with the high ISO on the D3s. – I found a dark church to shoot to challenge myself. For the geeks like me who care, this is ISO 25,600. The image came out very two dimensional to me, but hey, it’s an image for today and saves me from not fulfilling the project today…
